How to Exploit Your Family, Friends and Co-Workers
Also Known As
Multi-Level Marketing, Network Marketing,
Relationship Marketing, Consumer Direct Marketing
It is not my intent to re-invent the wheel, and write a long diatribe on how wrong it is to exploit fearful, desperate and/or materially greedy people by recruiting them into pyramid schemes like Multi-level/Network/Relationship Marketing scams. So, if you'd like more information on the nuts and bolts of how deceptive, manipulative, unethical, and immoral this business practice really is, please visit one of the sites below.
Also beware of the insurance companies and organizations like Aetna U.S. Healthcare and AARP who endorse these products by advertising them and providing discounts for them. Yes, somewhere buried deep in the fine print these companies claim that they really are NOT endorsing them. Their actions speak louder than words, especially when their words are written in such fine print, buried deep in the links of their company web pages. These companies are trying to look "progressive" and responsive to consumer market demands; in reality they simply made a business decision to cash in on the out-of-pocket money to be made in unproven alternative medicine and expensive placebos (nutriceuticals). They exploit your trust in them just to make an unholy buck. Afterall, is it not logical for a consumer to assume that a reputable company would not partner with an unreputable one? This behavior shows us that these companies are not as ethical and reputable as they claim or we'd hoped.
